Venezuelan
authorities discovered a cache of weapons and ammunition from the
United States and are investigating the intended recipient as the
country faces a coup attempt backed by Washington.
According
to Endes Palencia, Venezuela’s Deputy Minister for Prevention and
Citizen Security, the Venezuelan National Guard and the National
Integrated Service of Customs and Tax Administration made the
discovery at the Arturo Michelena International Airport in Valencia,
Venezuela.
In
total, some 19 rifles, 118 magazines, 90 radios and six cell phones
were uncovered inside a commercial cargo plane.
Authorities
believe the cache was sent from Miami, Florida, a city notorious as a
nexus of Pink Wave emigres and a major throughway in the
international black-market arms trade.
